Hi friends, Today's recipe is Andhra Kandi Podi Recipe. This is an authentic Andhra Kandi Podi recipe. I have learned this from my mom. She is an expert in making kandi podi and podi chutney. She used to make them available through out the year. Kandi Podi is a flavoursome, protein-packed, lentil-spice blend powder, it is a classic Andhra recipe. The ingredients for kandi podi are readily available in our own kitchen. This kandi podi goes well with rice and also with dosa and idli as side dish. Whenever we don't feel like cooking and also can't get from outside kandi podi comes in help. Making of Kandi podi needs a lot of patience. We have to dry roast each and every dal or lentils separately in a medium to low flame. They all have to be powdered together and sieve to get the fine powder.
